The comfort of

being right!

You can always tell a careful dresser by a glance in the region of his neck. Since beards went out of fashion, men have grown increasingly conscious of the need for a facial set-off. This is a task admirably performed by shirt, collar and tie.

But nature has been lavish in the bestowal of variations and a little skill is therefore necessary in choosing these items.

We have gained plenty of this skill and are always. willing to share it. Why not ask us, and enjoy the comfort of being right?

HARBOUR TRAGEDY..

WHOLESALE MURDER

FEARED.

pro-

Police investigations are eeding in connection with the dis covery of the body of a sampan woman, aged about 30, which was picked up in the Harbour near the Laichikok waterworks on Sunday.

Near the vicinity the Police also found a passenger anmpan drifting into the dock near the waterworks. It is believed that the woman, whose body was picked up, met with foul play on the eampan which was frand empty. A rope was found twisted tightly round the woman's neck and it is feared that she was not the only victim of the tragedy. Enquiries at the Water Police Station late last might elicited the news that the body of the woman has been identified as that of Li Kam Hi, aged 47, the mistress of the boat. It is also further stated that a small girl named Lo Tai Ngan, aged 19 years, who is the promootive daughter-in-law of the New York, Des. 27.-Jack Demptill the time of going to press, no
